These moves came after Kevin Kolb signed a two-year deal with the Buffalo Bills on Saturday. The Bills have the eighth pick.

The quarterback shuffle has many thinking it's all due to a weak crop of QB prospects. And it's fairly easy to argue that all 32 starters for Week 1 of the season are now under contract.

"With Buffalo, Kansas City and now Arizona getting a quarterback, whether a stopgap or not, it tells you there's no (draft-eligible) quarterback to step in on day one and take the reins," an AFC executive with a team that has an established quarterback and doesn't hold a top 10 pick told USA TODAY Sports on Monday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because he's not authorized to discuss other teams' personnel.

"Now, they could still take a quarterback high, but that guy will be holding a clipboard. It buys them time, but I also believe those teams may not see a quarterback worth taking at their spot in the first round, and I agree with that notion."

West Virginia's Geno Smith is widely considered the top quarterback available and has been praised by multiple teams picking in the top 10, including the Kansas City Chiefs, who have the No. 1 pick.

But is all the talk just a smokescreen? Even Smith is skeptical.

"I hope Kansas City is legitimately interested," Smith told USA TODAY late last week. "The Chiefs are bringing me in, so I'm going in there thinking that they're interested (in me), because I am in them."

But the Chiefs made a move for Alex Smith, who turns 29 next month. And now, the other teams in the top 10 with needs at quarterback suddenly aren't so desperate to grab a passer with their first pick â?? or at least to start him right away.

All of this is good news for the offensive tackles (Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel, Central Michigan's Eric Fisher and Oklahoma's Lane Johnson), defensive tackles (Florida's Sharrif Floyd and Oregon's Dion Jordan) and pass rushers (Oregon's Dion Jordan, LSU's Barkevious Mingo and Georgia's Jarvis Jones) who appear to still be in control of the top of the draft.
